Brook is trained in motivational interviewing, trauma informed practice, brief action planning, intimate partner violence, adverse childhood experiences and resiliency behaviours, substance use, harm reduction, weight bias, and cultural competency.

As a life-long learner, Brook enjoys helping and inspiring others and brings with her a positive and understanding attitude.

Brook is on the Mediate BC Civil Roster and she is an Associate Mediator of the Family Roster of Mediate BC.

 

With a sense of curiosity and a desire  to understand and appreciate differences, an ability to be flexible and adaptable, Brook is able to offer an open, client centred approach to helping individuals and families resolve conflict.

 

In Brook's spare time, she enjoys playing squash, exploring the outdoors, kayaking, hiking, and spending time with friends and family.
